Jaunt Week 2 | Day 1
Hey, guys! It’s Prompto! Totally made it down, safe and sound.
-=he’s sharing his vision, which is currently and underwater scene, which so far seems fairly normal for the sort of place they’re in=-
For anybody that didn’t get the memo, I’m using my robobody to sneak underwater back to God’s Isle to get a better look at things since…. I didn’t get a really good chance while we were there.
Gonna keep the connection up since I figure it’s the easiest way to share the info. Underwater Livestream, yo! Haha!
((This network post is essentially going to be running for hours while Prompto makes his way underwater back to the Isle, feel free to poke him at any point in the journey!))
[i: the bay]
-=prompto has rigged a personal underwater propulsion device so he’s not going a slowly as he could be, but not so fast as he would miss things. At first it seems like the bottom of a normal bay, rocks and plants and colorful fish that he’s delighted about. glimpses of himself here and there reveal a four armed, metal body.
he does babble randomly as he goes, interrupted by a shriek! when some needlefish start getting aggressive. It’s lasts a few moments until he remembers that he is made of metal and therefore difficult to injure. And also not food, so they lose interest soon enough=-
Yeah! You better run! Jerks!
-=he shakes a mechanical fist at the offending fishes=-
[ii: mirpur sakro]
Woah…
-=soon, prompto pauses as he comes across what looks like an old highway sign written in alphabets he doesn’t recognise (Sindhi, Urdu).
there appears to be a whole city at the bottom of the bay. it’s hard to tell how big it had once been since most of it is rubble and eroded away. colorful schools of fish make their way through the rotting buildings and futuristic cars that can been abandoned.
eventually he passes by a large billboard, pausing to get a good look at it. RESIDENTS MUST EVACUATE TO THE KARACHI CITY DOME BY- It’s old and incredibly warn, but only the date is too faded to properly read.=-
That’s not ominous or anything.
[iii: god’s isle]
Damn…
-=prompto is still some distance away, but even through the water he can see the outer towers up on God’s Isle continue down into the bottom of the bay, securing it in place. the central tower doesn’t appear to continue under the water, though the entire underside of the island itself is made or pristine metal plating.
as an oracle, he could tell from the start that the whole thing was a machine. it’s how he could head directly here and not go off course underwater. he needs to actually touch the machinery itself to get an actual infodump on what it is.
he’s quieter now as he makes his way closer. luckily there doesn’t seem to be any fish versions of the midge spy cameras, so he’s able to make it right up to one of the towers=-
Here’s goes…
-=he reaches out to touch the tower, and his connection to the network fickers and statics out a bit as he draws the information into his mind so it can download right into his data disk. the connection doesn’t break, but his vision blanks out for a few long moments before he’s blinking back to himself again=-
Woah! Okay. So, uh… it’s doing a lot of things. Monitoring the whole area, kinda like an outpost? It’s not the main control center. There’s a toxic atmosphere it’s keeping out, and making sure the air in here is clean. It’s controlling the camera bugs, and there’s even a transport dock.
Should.. I go inside?
-=he hesitates a moment as he deals with some spikes of anxiety=-
I should probably go inside.
[iv. espionage]
-=after circling around to where the underwater dock is, prompto susses out a maintenance hatch and twists it open, then slowly pushing it open so he can swim through and slowly close it behind him. He keeps close to wall of the pool, peeking up out of the water and switching his vision to infrared to see if there are any people moving around before moving to the ladder to get up out of the water.
he looks down at himself as water spills from his metal body=-
Haha, whoops. Should have brought a towel! Or twelve.
-=switching to green night vision he starts poking around in the storage are he finds himself in=-
There’s rations here! And medical stuff!
-=he starts taking some of the medicine, looking at the labels for anyone who’d know better=-
Not sure what this, but if it’s helpful maybe we can portal back and get more? I don’t have all that much space so I can’t take it all.
-=he does vanish some of it into his hammerspace/armiger anyway. Then he heads over to a large set of doors and touches the control panel=-
It’s an elevator that goes up to that main tower. I can probably get around the security system. There might be some clue up there about what's really going on!
